Let's Talk Turkey

We have our Heritage Turkeys, Bourbon Reds!  We started a smaller batch for the first time around, not knowing for sure how much room they will take up as they get bigger.  I am so excited for Thanksgiving this year! ;)  Is that wrong of me?

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but the worst predator we've had so far is the family cat, so we shipped her off to reside on Gramma and Grampa's farm...That cat was just to smart for us, and really did a  number on our last brood of chicks, sooo, bye-bye kitty!

We had to fence in our egg layers too.  :(  They were starting to get distructive to our landscaping, so they have room to roam and scratch, it's just not a free-for-all.  I have to say, it's quite nice not having to dodge the chicken poop walking down the porch though!  Up next for the porch, a good pressure washing and staining!

Next week, on July 7th, I will be heading to the Auburn Farmers Market!  This will be my first run at the market with chicken and eggs, hope to see you there!
